Roccat which is a well known brand on the market now, has made products like mice, mousepads, keyboards and more. They sent us their Tusko laptop travel bag for test, it seems to be a very safe and protective bag at first look however the 15-19 inch max monitor size worries me. Maybe we can push in something even bigger into this bag? Lets have a closer look.

During this one we talk about the Corsair TEC Memory Cooler, rants on how nothing seems to change about PCs, Left 4 Dead 2, World of Warcraft is a drug, how to come up with ideas on creating your case mod, the thermal paste review over at Benchmark Reviews, and the Nipple Case.

Firefox 3.5 is a major improvement over Firefox 3, though casual users probably wont notice any difference. For many people, the browser wars are all about one thing: speed. Theres no doubt that version 3.5 is faster than version 3, thanks to the new JavaScript engine, but it still frequently crashes - at least it does on my Vista machine running Flash-based sites. If youre a Firefox user you should definitely upgrade. Personally, I prefer the simplicity and reliability of Googles Chrome. Considering Mozilla has been working on the browser for a year, it has already announced it will patch the 1-day-old Firefox 3.5 in the next few weeks to stamp out several bugs that went unfixed in the final version. This is typical of open-source software. Firefox 3.5.1, which Mozilla intends to deliver in mid-to-late July, will include fixes for at least three bugs and topcrashes, the term the company uses to describe the frequently-reported crashes. Like many applications, Firefox asks users to report crashes by displaying a prompt after the browser goes down. One of the topcrashes scheduled for a fix involves TraceMonkey, the new, faster JavaScript engine.

Snippet:* More and more home based businesses are springing up these days with billions being made through internet business people are dropping the shackles of office over head and cozying up to the home based business ides .

If youre in the market for a new video card and wondering if Spa rkle is a brand you can trust, Id say the answer is yes. The companys c ard and bundle doesnt include any goodies or extras to wow or surprise, but the actual product is as stable a video card as one could ask for, an d thats what ultimately matters. As for the Geforce GTX 275, its a soli d design thats generally a bit faster than its closest competitor, the A TI Radeon HD 4890. The GeForce GTX 275 is also a bit more expensive than its closest ATI competitor, so the price/performance ratio between the tw o is more-or-less consistent...

Back when we reviewed the Kingston X25-M SSDNow Kingston was shipping the drives in the same manner as Intel, a drive in a protective plastic package wrapped in a brown box. Since then the company has given thought to distinguishing their product from the pack and is now shipping a value added retail package. The Kingston SSDNow Upgrade Kit is a product whose time has come. Not only does the retail kit make it much easier to install a blazing fast SSD into your desktop in less than 30 minutes with your data migrated over, but it also gives desktop users the option to easily install a traditional notebook sized drive into their desktop.

*The In Win Matrix HTPC case is a compact, microATX case with a full array of features. The In Win Matrix has integrated cable management and well designed assembly. The plain, subtle style of the white Matrix is accented nicely through well trimmed out black lines and with innovative doors to optimize concealment of the computer components, leaving the HTPC not looking like a PC./

Quote: Today for review Ive got the Eagle Arion ET-AR402IR-BK 2.1 iDock Speak ers with Subwoofer, its an iPod dock, but most any audio source can be hooke d up to it. When you first get the Eagle Arion iDock, the first thing youl l notice is that its heavy and very well made with a nice subtle design to it. The design should fit in with most any decor, it looks very professiona l with clean lines, and a sleek look. Looks though arent everything, with an iPod dock, the sound quality is what we really care about, and with the Arion iDock, youll find the sound is very good with nice crisp highs and deep bass, thanks to the dual three inch full spectrum drivers and four inc h subwoofer. It even includes a remote to adjust bass and treble along with controls for your attached iPod, in addition to the controls on the unit itself. One last thing is that the Arion iDock can get loud, and I mean ver y loud, I was very surprised at the volume this little dock can reach.

SNIP: The computer mouse is one of the most overlooked peripherals, in my opinion. We often upgrade everything inside of a computer but overlook one piece of hardware that is frequently used. Choosing the right mouse is a challenge because you need to balance budget, comfort, and performance. And its especially true if you are into gaming and want a mouse that has a fast DPI (dot per inch) and is comfortable enough so that you will not feel the pain on your wrist after hours of playing games.

Today we have another brand arrived on our doorstep Jetart which sounds new to most of us but actually Jetart has been established since 1989 where computer cooling is their major line of business. MP2000 is our first review on Jetart product which is a multi-functional mousepad a combination of USB 2.0 hub and a mouse pad sound interesting right? Lets move on.

AM3 has never looked so good. With support for both DDR2 and DDR3 on the same CPU, the possibilities with this platform are endless. We ha ve already seen quite a few good boards come out, either supporting one o r the other technology and some with both. But one thing remains constant a good price and a pretty good performing board and CPU combo for the o utlay. Just recently we took a look at the little brother of todays candidate from GIGABYTE this new one is based on DDR3 memory and the 790FX chipse t. Coning in at 179.99 U.S. Dollars over at Newegg , its a bit higher priced than most. But can it handle the pressure? Lets see how it goes .

Quote: For Maxcubes first case, I must say I am impressed with the features it brings to the table. Not only is the case sleek and stylish, but it has function as well. The case features two more front USB ports than most cases Ive seen and is following with the new trend of bring eSATA to the front panel as well. Tool-free cases have been around for a while and Maxcube has integrated this feature into the Amoris. It even introduced a new concept to me, the external CMOS reset switch, which would be useful to any overclocker, as you wouldnt have to open the case to reset CMOS. Having the CMOS reset is nice, but it has been almost standard on high performance motherboard I/O panels for well over a year now. The case did lose some ground in the tests however, probably due to the fact it only runs on two fans. Nevertheless, for only having two fans, it kept up pretty well with the competition, which in the case of open air, had no fans, or with both the X-Fighter and Super Lanboy, had an average of three fans.

The Evercool Buffalo HPFI7-10025 CPU cooler offers Socket 1366 compatibility in a small form 100mm fan setup. It is a good looking little heatsink that offers stunning value as the least expensive Socket 1366 performance cooler on the market. The question is, however: how well does it cool?

PCs have been creeping into our living rooms for many years now.

Below is a direct quote from the review: New for 2009, Kingwin has replaced the RVT-12025 with a newer, updated tower cooler dubbed the XT-1264. Both models retain their machined individual copper heatpipe base with aluminum fin configuration coupled with a 120mm fan. The new cooler design is a few millimeters shorter than the old RVT but nearly 2=BDcm thicker for increased fin surface area. Heatpipe count has been increased from three to four for better performance and heat dissipation. Support for Intels socket 1366 is also added.

OCZ promises not less than incredible performance for its USB drive by combining USB and eSATA. HT4U.net tested what that means in reality.

Once again ASUS enters the Matrix. HT4U.net shows how ASUS own design based on the GTX 260-216 deals with reality.

EVE is a phenomenal SF offering, said Eric Raab, Tor Editor. The game is beyond awe-inspiring, and its intricacies deserve stories. Hjaltis storytelling skills shine in-game and in his short fiction. We at Tor are truly excited for his first foray into the novel form.

*Quote:* When it comes to PSUs, for years now the ATX unit has taken centre stage with little thought going into producing a different form factor. However, Antec have changed all this and decided that it is time for a revamp. Their new form factor, christened the CPX, is a lot bigger so as to allow more room for the guts and allow a less restrictive airflow. Electrically, its just an ATX power supply but unfortunately the size means that a limited selection of cases can take the unit -- unless of course youre into modding. Antec clearly hope the new form factor catches on and their first model is the CP-850, but is all the hype really justified? Lets have a look...

The new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 comes with 216 stream processors, 24 more than the original GeForce GTX 260. This gave it a small 12.5% boost in texture fillrate while everything else remained the same. This small improvement, however, gave the GeForce GTX 260 new life and allowed it to better compete with the Radeon HD 4850. Of course, there were many who felt that the increase in stream processors wasnt good enough. Not only overclockers but even graphics card manufacturers saw the potential in overclocking the improved GeForce GTX 260. The larger number of stream processors would only mean much greater improvements in performance with every hike in core speed. Galaxy is one of those manufacturers who saw the potential in offering factory-overclocked versions of the GeForce GTX 260. Their Galaxy GeForce GTX 260+ OverClocked graphics card offers factory-certified clock speeds of 625 MHz core, 1350 MHz shader and 1050 MHz memory. Lets take a look at the card and see how it fares!

Snippet:* Proper security is something that only seemed achievable through technology when security cams first came out they made short work of bringing thugs to justice. Security cams have come a long way not only do they still support the old options that were fundamental to a proper security system they also include some incredible features like the ability to check in on your cams from anywhere in the world at the click of a mouse .

Based on the critically acclaimed graphic novel by Frank Miller and directed with immense style by Robert Rodriguez, Sin City signaled a new found maturity in comic book to film adaptations that continued with Batman Begins and paved the way for the even darker The Dark Knight and Watchmen. Sin City worked as a graphic novel and it works just as well, if not better, as a film. This could have been a disaster that forever sullied the name of comic book adaptations, but that mantel is still retained by Batman and Robin.

Quote: Last September I took a look at the Vuzix iWear AV920, and I found it to be a decent product overall, though not without its faults. Today I have th e new Vuzix iWear AV310 Widescreen for review, and Ive found them to be a great choice for someone looking for their own personal cinema or gaming experience. One of the great features of this product is that it can run fo r up to eleven hours on a single =91AA battery, thats more than enough for most any viewing needs. It comes complete with connections for iPod and standard A/V as well. The idea behind Vuzix products is privacy, they are small and lightweight allowing you to take them anywhere with you really.

eMedias Guitar Method is a well-rounded instructional software package that takes the chore out of learning to play guitar from scratch. With over 160 lessons and 70 popular hits from top-flight artists, along with 50 superb quality videos featuring a professional guitar instructor, the software is guaranteed to teach you a thing or two - hopefully more! In terms of content, Guitar Method is very comprehensive and provides more than enough theory and practical to keep budding guitarists happy. My biggest criticism is presentation. Considering the attractiveness of most modern software, Guitar Methods menu system and graphics look very dated. The programs interface cant even be resized of run full-screen, so its constantly running in a small window. This is a minor niggle however, and as far as saying goes, content is king here.

Once the dynamic overclock setting has been enabled you then mus t pick the percentage of the overclock. You can select a CPU overclock of either 8%, 15% or 24%, for a maximum overclock of 2GHz. Once the percent age picked you just load the operating system like normal and use the Win d U100. When you are ready for a little more processor power you just nee d to press Fn+F10, and Turbo mode will be enabled. You have to be plugg ed into AC power for the setting to work and you should see one of the ab ove icons when you enable or disable the feature. Our MSI Wind U100 was u nstable with an overclock of 24% due to instability of the memory module. That means the highest overclock that could be reached was 15%, which is still a great overclock on the Intel Atom N270 processor....

SNIP: When water cooling multiple video cards we still daisy chain the two video cards together. This becomes increasingly problematic when dealing with High Restrictive video card water blocks. This guide is a modification of these types of cooling systems, and with a bit of time, luck, and also a lot of patience, they can be integrated into other aspects of water cooling.

The Voltage Tweak model from ASUS is something weve heard about for a while now. The idea behind it is that ASUS gives the user even more control of the card when it comes to overclocking. Not only do you have the ability to overclock the standard clocks like memory and core, but you also have the ability to adjust the voltage. You may be wondering what this exactly means it gives you the ability to adjust the voltage to higher levels which in turn gives you the ability to run the card at even higher speeds, much like you do with a CPU where adding more voltage gives you the ability to obtain higher clock speeds.
